I have some thoughts.
1. $99 is dead cheap! Why not just give it a try.

That's what I thought too! But your next point crossed my mind as well.

Which is why I'm still worried. Does it being cheap mean that I'm most likely going to get a 'cheap' education? From what I can tell, the curriculum is a rather detailed one, and some of the testimonials that were posted on other game design forums - not the ones on the Game Institute website itself - were giving it high praise... but I still can't break this feeling that maybe it isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I guess I'll just have to give it a try. $99 isn't too bad for many weeks of classroom education.
